Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire rope technology, and more specifically, to a wire rope tensioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Jungle trekking typically involves connecting trees into a route by constructing various obstacles of varying difficulty and style. Players must navigate through these challenging sections, including suspended bridges, nets, walkways, barrels, swings, and zip lines, using various maneuvers to overcome obstacles and reach the finish line. During jungle trekking, players must wear safety equipment, such as harnesses with safety buckles and ropes, securing the buckles to the steel cables.

[0003] When players perform suspended maneuvers, they are secured to the steel cable by safety buckles, providing a safety guarantee. However, due to the various actions players take while traversing obstacles, such as climbing, sliding, swimming, straddling, jumping, and flying, there is a significant impact on the steel cable. To improve the safety of the steel cable, various tensioning structures need to be added, but existing tensioning structures are complex in design. Therefore, we propose a steel cable tensioning structure. Utility Model Content

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a wire rope tensioning structure, including a wire rope tensioner 100, a wire rope 200, a clamp 300, and a rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400. The wire rope tensioning structure provided in this application can be used in environments including but not limited to rope parks and jungle trekking. This embodiment uses the application of a wire rope tension balancing structure in jungle trekking as an example for illustration.

[0042] One end of the steel cable 200 is laid out along the layout of the suspended zipline in the jungle crossing, and the other end passes through the steel cable tensioner 100 and is then fixed at a designated location, such as a sturdy tree trunk or a fixed post, to keep the steel cable 200 taut. When players are traveling on the zipline, they will wear a safety rope, which is fastened to the steel cable 200 by a safety buckle. The taut steel cable 200 can offset the impact force when players jump or fall accidentally on the zipline, providing safety protection.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the wire rope tensioner 100 is not just one; multiple wire rope tensioners 100 can be set according to the actual application environment. If the cableway is set into multiple sections, and each section is connected at the tree trunk or turns at the tree trunk, a wire rope tensioner 100 can be set at each tree trunk to provide tension for the wire rope 200.

[0044] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 2 The wire rope tensioner 100 in this embodiment is described in detail as follows: The wire rope tensioner 100 includes an integrally formed tension arm plate 110 and a wire rope sleeve 120. One end of the tension arm plate 110 is fixedly connected to the wire rope sleeve 120. The tension arm plate 110 and the wire rope sleeve 120 can be integrally cast or fixed together by welding. The other end of the tension arm plate 110 is connected to the rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 by a U-bolt.

[0045] Furthermore, the thickness of the tension arm plate 110 is set to 4-6mm, and the diameter of the wire rope 200 is set to 10-12mm. After multiple comparative experiments on tension arm plates 110 and wire ropes 200 of different specifications, it was found that the thickness of the tension arm plate 110 is preferably 6mm. If the thickness of the tension arm plate 110 is too low, it is prone to deformation under the weight of the wire rope 200 itself and under the impact force, which will affect safety. If the thickness of the tension arm plate 110 is too high, it will increase the cost of raw materials. In addition, since the personnel will wear protective equipment during the operation, and the protective equipment has a safety rope with a safety buckle at the front end, if the thickness is too high, the safety buckle will not be able to pass through.

[0046] Furthermore, the tension arm plate 110 is rotated in the middle, so that the two ends of the tension arm plate 110 form an angle difference to accommodate the rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 at different angles. Specifically, in this embodiment, the tension arm plate 110 is rotated 90° in the middle, so that the two ends of the tension arm plate 110 are vertically set. The vertical end of the tension arm plate 110 is fixedly connected to the wire rope sleeve 120, and the horizontal end of the tension arm plate 110 is connected to the horizontal rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 through a U-bolt. The horizontal pulling force of the wire rope tensioner 100 is realized through the rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400. The horizontal pulling force is transmitted from the horizontal end of the tension arm plate 110 to the vertical end, and then to the wire rope sleeve 120, thereby realizing the pulling effect on the wire rope 200 and keeping the wire rope 200 taut.

[0047] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 3 In this embodiment, taking only one wire rope tensioner 100 as an example, the fixing structure of the wire rope tensioner 100 is described as follows:

[0048] The clamp 300 is fixed in a designated position. In this embodiment, the clamp 300 is directly snapped onto the thick tree trunk.

[0049] One end of the rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 is connected to the wire rope tensioner 100, and the other end is connected to the clamp 300. The distance between the wire rope tensioner 100 and the clamp 300 is adjusted by the rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 so that the wire rope tensioner 100 provides tension to the wire rope 200.

[0050] Continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 3 The rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 in this embodiment is described in detail as follows: The rod-shaped threaded adjustment assembly 400 includes a fixed sleeve rod 410 and eye bolts 420 located at both ends of the fixed sleeve rod 410. The eye bolts 420 and the fixed sleeve rod 410 are threadedly connected to adjust the length of the eye bolts 420 extending from the end of the fixed sleeve rod 410.

[0051] During initial installation, the eye bolts 420 are first rotated to adjust them to a suitable length through threaded engagement, facilitating connection between the eye bolts 420 at both ends and the wire rope tensioner 100 and the clamp 300, respectively. After installation, if the tension provided by the wire rope tensioner 100 to the wire rope 200 is insufficient, resulting in the wire rope 200 not being fully taut, the length of the eye bolts 420 on the outside can be shortened by rotating the middle fixing sleeve 410 through threaded engagement. This maintains tension between the wire rope tensioner 100 and the clamp 300, and further ensures that the wire rope 200 is always taut.

[0052] Continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 3 The clamp 300 in this embodiment is described in detail as follows: The clamp 300 is a circular retaining ring 310, which is fitted onto the tree trunk or fixed post for fixation. The notch of the circular retaining ring 310 extends outward to form a connecting angle plate 320. The connecting angle plate 320 and the lifting eye bolt 420 near the clamp 300 are fixedly connected by bolts. Specifically, the lifting eye of the lifting eye bolt 420 is embedded between the two connecting angle plates 320 and fixed by bolts. The two connecting angle plates 320 are tightened by the cooperation of bolts and nuts, so that the connecting angle plate 320 is always fixed on the tree trunk or fixed post and will not slip or fall off, thus further improving safety.

[0053] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 4 The steel wire rope 200 in this embodiment is described as follows: The steel wire rope 200 is formed by spirally winding multiple strands of fine steel wire rope along the same axis to enhance the strength of the steel wire rope 200. After passing through the steel wire rope tensioner 100, one end of the steel wire rope 200 is divided into two branch steel wire ropes 210. Both branch steel wire ropes 210 are formed by spirally winding three strands of fine steel wire rope along the same axis. The two branch steel wire ropes 210 are woven together at a designated position and fixedly connected.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two branch steel wire ropes 210 are fixed to the same tree trunk as the clamp 300. The two branch steel wire ropes 210 are woven together below the clamp 300. The two branch steel wire ropes 210 are formed by splitting the same steel wire rope 200. The steel wire rope 200 is wound with six thin steel wire ropes. Therefore, each branch steel wire rope 210 is formed by winding three thin steel wire ropes. After the two branch steel wire ropes 210 are woven together at the tree trunk to form a circle, they merge into one. The entire steel wire rope 200 is first split into two branch steel wire ropes 210 on both sides. At this time, there are three thin steel wire ropes on each side. Then, the branch steel wire ropes 210 on both sides are wrapped around the tree trunk and reassembled into six thin steel wire ropes behind the tree trunk, that is, the steel wire rope 200. On the basis of the steel wire rope tensioner 100 providing safety protection for the steel wire rope 200, the strength of the steel wire rope 200 is further enhanced, thereby enhancing the safety of the steel wire rope 200 during use.

[0055] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 Several wire rope lockers 500 are provided on the surface of the wire rope 200. The wire rope lockers 500 clamp the spirally wound multi-strand thin wire rope to prevent the wire rope 200 from unraveling during use and to enhance the tightness of each thin wire rope when it is wound.
